Speaker info

I have been in my current role as Endocrine Specialist Nurse within Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Trust since November 2021. My team and I hold clinics for pituitary disease patients prescribed therapies and surveillance, adrenal patients including adrenocortical carcinoma, corticodependent patients for steroid advice, on a routine and urgent basis and benign thyroid disease.

Prior to that, I was a Staff Nurse then latterly a Sister on a Programmed Investigation Unit where Endocrinology fed into, comprising of diagnostic dynamic testing, MEN/pituitary surveillance, thyroid eye disease and octreotide analogue therapies. Consequently, I have been involved within the Endocrinology service for the majority of my career.

I am involved in the setting up and running of two Nurse Led clinics, adrenal incidentaloma and post radioiodine working to pathways. I am expecting to set up a further two clinics; benign thyroid and diabetes insipidus when all members of the team have all completed the non-medical prescribing course by next summer.
